How to Use Fajita & Taco Spice

We suggest using 2 tablespoons of ground Fajita Taco Spice plus 3/4 cup of water for every pound of ground meat.

Spice 101

Summary

Our Fajita & Taco Spice is a carefully crafted blend that includes Paprika, Guajillo, NM Chile, Cumin, Garlic, and Onion. It's a salt-free mix, making it a versatile choice for cooking as it allows for personalization of salt levels according to one's dietary needs. The blend's robust flavor profile is marked by the smoky warmth of Guajillo chiles complemented by the earthy tones of cumin and the aromatic punch of garlic and onion.

History

The Fajita & Taco Spice blend captures the essence of Tex-Mex cuisine, a regional culinary tradition that blends Mexican and American influences. This cuisine emerged prominently in Texas, where the fusion of Mexican culinary techniques with American ingredients created a vibrant and flavorful cooking style. The term "fajita" originally referred to the cut of beef used in the dish, but it has since evolved to describe the seasoned, grilled meats typically served in a tortilla.

Why We Love It

Fajita & Taco Spice'sIts smoky and earthy undertones make it perfect not just for traditional fajitas and tacos, but also for spicing up everything from grilled vegetables to a hearty bean stew. It's our go-to for adding a burst of flavor that's deep, complex, and authentically American Southwest.

The More You Know

Did you know that the original fajita was made from skirt steak, a cut of meat that was considered less desirable and was often given to Mexican ranch workers in Texas as part of their pay? They marinated and grilled this tough cut, creating what we now love as fajitas.
